### "Spegel Barn" (Mirror Child) is a ”sister piece” of my most liked song ”Mirror of the Hollow Twin”. It’s a song about survivor’s guilt and about the sister who never grew up… Two twins. One crash. One life lived for two.### ###ENGLISH LYRICS BELOW### [VERSE 1] Två namn i klasslistan ett suddat bort Två cyklar lutade mot samma gård Spegeln i hallen den visar mer Du står kvar där men jag blir äldre [PRE-CHORUS] Om det var jag den kvällen i diket under regn Om det var jag som tystnade och du som gick hem [CHORUS] Om det var j—aaag inte du Skulle du stå här nu? Om det var j—aaag inte du Skulle du leva mitt liv? [VERSE 2] Två glas på bordet ett fylls av damm Jag bär din skugga i min kostym Jag ser dig dansa i brudens skratt En annan framtid i varje natt [PRE-CHORUS] Om det var jag som försvann i blåljusens sken Skulle du resa jorden runt bli någon mer? [CHORUS ] Om det var j—aaag inte du Skulle du stå här nu? Om det var j—aaag inte du Skulle du leva mitt liv? [BRIDGE] Skulle du hålla din dotter nu och kalla henne mitt namn? Skulle du stå här i spegeln och undra vem som försvann? [FINAL CHORUS] Om det var j—AAAG inte du Skulle du stå här nu? Om det var j—AAAG inte du Skulle du leva mitt liv? Jag lever för två men saknar en Jag lever för två men saknar.... EN!!! --------------------------- We were born two minutes apart. They said that made her the older one. But she’s the one who stayed twelve. Sometimes, when the house is quiet… I see her in the mirror. Not older. Not younger. Just waiting. And I keep thinking — what if it was supposed to be me? ----------------------------- ###MIRROR CHILD### [VERSE 1] Two names on the class list one faded out Two bicycles leaning against the same house The mirror in the hallway shows something strange You’re still standing there while I keep changing [PRE-CHORUS] If it were me that night in the ditch in the rain If it were me who fell silent and you who walked away [CHORUS] If it were m—ee not you Would you be standing here now? If it were m—ee not you Would you be living my life? [VERSE 2] Two glasses on the table one gathers dust I carry your shadow inside my suit I see you dancing in the bride’s white veil Another future in every detail [PRE-CHORUS] If it were me who vanished in blue flashing light Would you have traveled the whole wide world become someone bright? [CHORUS] If it were m—ee not you Would you be standing here now? If it were m—ee not you Would you be living my life? [BRIDGE] Would you be holding your daughter now calling her by my name? Would you be standing here in this mirror wondering who disappeared? [FINAL CHORUS] If it were M—EE not you Would you be standing here now? If it were M—EE not you Would you be living my life? I live for two but I’m missing one I live for two but I’m missing... ONE!!!
